A long Dream

Subaru watch as Asura takes the Hogyoku thing and walks up to him as said.

"Well since you are my apostle I see you as an investment and friends grow strong for me ok trust we need as much strength as we can get."

The Hogyoku then began to glow as a radiating heat surround its very being-- it was so hot Subaru could swear it was turning the sand beneath Asura into glass with each step he took nearing him.

The heat became so overwhelming Subaru fell to the ground in pain and nothing didn't even happen yet its mere presence alone was enough to have the shut-in shrieking in pain agony-- and sadly for Subaru, the pain was going to get worse with each passing second as Asura said.

"Now apostle of mine I won't lie this is going to hurt like a mother fucker-- but I'm confident you are not a pussy who would run away from pain-- well good luck don't die."

Even if Subaru wanted to say anything he could the pain has already reached the point he has lost his voice from screaming earlier and sad thing nothing has happened yet.

And when Asura was right over Subaru he drop it as if a drop of water fell from his finger and the godly artifact or fruit drill into him as an unbearable, unexplainable, and suffocating pain fill his being it felt like the artifact was melting his body well soul and completely reforming and destroying it over and over again and again.

Eventually, the pain died down, as Subaru began to feel his chest burn up in pain once more, normally in his puny mortal mind the cliche and generic plot about meeting a God who takes pity on a said individual for dying and living a horrible life would instantly gain overpowered and unrivaled cheat like abilities in the form of wishes, as the God will send them off to lives a merry life in another world as the strongest, in return he will be the Gods entertainment.

But no the Demon God just shattered his dreams about gaining wishes and gifting him unbearable and excruciating pain instead.

Subaru then watches as Asura stands before him in the form of his child self as he was just watching his suffering with sparkles in his eyes as his sadistic smile rises even higher with each attempt of a screams Subaru try to make.

Eventually, Subaru began to tear up in pain praying to this bastard to make it stop he was the one that suddenly shove something inside him as the mysterious orb that was the size of marble began to fuse with Subaru flesh-- as it glows even brighter than before blinding the entire area and after the light dim down Subaru began to lose consciousness as the last thing he saw was a smiling Asura crossing his finger as if praying for a good gacha role.

Then blackness came as Subaru somehow lost consciousness within his own consciousness, he didn't even have time to curse Asura as he was the reason he was feeling this much pain and suffering.

*Sometime later*

[Do you want power?]

"Ha... where am I?."

[Do you want power?]

"Ahh... a voice ha... wait hold up just wait a bloody minute-- what the hell happening why can't I see anything-- no why can't I feel anything, where am I."

Subaru said in a weak voice as he couldn't feel anything at all-- not even his own body, nor could he move a single muscle, hell he didn't even think he has a body to start with as he was engulfed in pure darkness and the only thing in view was bright rainbow-colored light shining above him or maybe in front of him honestly Subaru doesn't know.

But one thing was clear to him about where he is-- you see all that was here in this space of eternal darkness was him and the beautiful majestic light that was bluish-purple in color, he couldn't do anything but look at it in awe, but for some reason, he know that the source of this voice was coming from this thing-- it had to be since he is the only one here including the mysterious rainbow light above him so the voice from earlier had to be this thing.

And just like what Subaru had thought he began to hear the voice again as it said.

[Do you want power?]

Subaru was confused he was still light-headed because of the pain, even if he wasn't feeling it again, the memory of it still remains and it wasn't a pleasant one at all.

But honestly speaking Subaru was too fatigued to even care and all he wants to do right now is rest-- but he knew it had to wait reason be the voice went off again.

[Dont you want power?]

"Agh... if it would make you shut up then yes."

[The individual Natsuki Subaru has accepted thy assistant, now beginning ceremony]

[For the next five minutes I shall accept all your desires]

"Ceremony what that about "Sigh" let me just shut my eyes for a little I feel mentally drained, I hate pain but I guess it's something I have to get used to if I'm going to another world, man why couldn't this be a generic isekai were I just get the power directly and be down with it-- but anything is better than nothing after all Asura did help me greatly."

"I feel like training in a next world would be a pain in the ass, their also a chance that my training abilities won't get me nowhere reason be it a different world, so of course much stronger, and fiercer foes will be present, and It won't be like getting mug at gunpoint for sure."

Said Subaru who was concerned for himself as he knew that sooner or later he would have to fight for his life and after getting his ass kicked while been injured he would gain nothing but a sense of defeat and a serious wound on his pride, which make him feel like less of a man which he already is.

[Primordial skill "Zenkai Boost" has been gained due to the master wanting to gain power through pain and suffering]

"Agh Zenkai boost what the hell is that... hmm I see some kind of weird voice just calling out some random skill ha... maybe an ability ceremony yes Asura did say something like that-- it has to be, Asura doing's for sure I just met the guy but he feels a little off well it doesn't matter anyways he is helping me out and I can't turn back as I already made my vow after sealing the contract-- and calling quite halfway true might make him want to kill me, I don't want to die."

"That person is truly the manifestation of the word danger or maybe I'm just a coward-- who knows, after all, he is a fricking God for christ sake "sigh" I feel like my life is in danger already with all his expectations, fine then gives me an ability to at least defend myself with M.s voice."

"If what Asura said is true then I'm destined to die many really gruesome, horrible, and pathetic deaths, at least give me a gun or nukes to blow my enemies away hell a flame thrower would do, I wouldn't even mine a pistol, after all, if I die, I at least want to die with a bang."

[Unique skill "Final Explosion" has been gained due to the master wanting to die a less pathetic and humiliating death-- and instead, go out with a bang "If I'm dying then I'm taking you with me"]

"Yikes! that skill sounds scary, it gives off the vibe of a pointless last stand kind of move just by the name alone, as a matter of fact, why does this feel like suicide but way less tragic and depressing."

[2 minutes remaining]

"Agh... I'm running out of time let see I don't know maybe a way to get a stronger body that can withstand a lot of force and attacks maybe even make it resistant to many elements."

[Unique constitution "Moonlight Dictator Body" has been forcefully created and added to the master body please note that if you want to make use of this unique constitution, soak in moonlight regularly, it also comes with additional buffs]

[Supreme skill "Limitless Potential" has been gained due to the master wanting the opportunity to get a strong body so he won't be completely worthless "Although you already are"]

"Damn well it's a start would be sick if I can bring some gun with me though, or maybe even a car hell I can even start my own business at least that way I can become financially stable."

[Unique skill "Hinokagutsuchi" has been gained due to the master desire of wanting to commit murder in another world "Ps please don't shoot the rabbits they tend to get a little naughty when you do that."]

"Oh that an interesting name I wonder can I rely on this when shit gets real, and what do you mean don't shoot the rabbits, do I look like a monster to you, rabbits are too cute to shoot."

[one minute remaining]

"Ha... I see my time is running out, but I think I already had enough skills to survive in whatever world I'm going to be summoned to, but man I still feel bad I didn't get an Excalibur well so much for idiotic childhood dreams."

[Notice now pouring whatever energy left to make the user last desires becomes a reality]

[Now remodeling race]

[Heroic spirit/Shinigami bloodline has been forcefully awakened and fused]

"Wait, hold up I'm not a human anymore

[Solution found]

[Coverting world sword rule to that of Bleach for user only]

[Unique right "Weilder of the black holy sword" has been given to you for your strong desire of wanting to wield the holy sword Excalibur]

"Why would a holy sword be black."

[Due to the user wanting to wield Excalibur the title "He who holds the black holy sword" has been given to the master please note that you have not reached the required level to use a Shikai or Bankai hence fort two special abilities will be locked]

"Wow, that cool now this is what I'm talking about although I don't know what the fuck is a Shikai or a Bankai."

[Shikai: Limitless strike]=Locked

"That sounds convenient I guess."

[Bankai: Excalibur Morgan]= Locked

"The fuck an Excalibur Morgan."

[Now giving the master a simple level parameter and a scale to judge the potential of others and yourself including different objects within the world in the form of "Divine protection"]

"Sweet I will get divine protection as well, I don't know what that is, but it sounds really convenient and amazing at the same time, hmm could be a little stronger though maybe something to analyze."

[Error]

"What."

[Error now attempting to fix and retry creating a more powerful divine protection]

[Notice a way has been found now recreating divine protection the price the Hogyoku cooldown time will be extended by two times]

[Unique divine protection "Eyes of the player" has been created and gifted to you]

"I hope it is something great if the Hogyoku cooldown time had been doubled."

[With this, the skill gifting ceremony has come to a conclusion, please note that the power of Hogyoku has been greatly reduced and another ceremony will take place a year from now to strengthen the master once more until next time please grow stronger my beloved master]

With that said Subaru began to feel his body move or more like his presence but he wasn't moving it by himself-- it was like something was doing that for him, eventually, he began to see light, and the closer he gets the faster he was moving till eventually, the light engulfs him and...

*Gasp!*

Subaru got up in surprise as he began to feel his entire body and held on to himself in shock as the weird feeling of numbness is probably something Subaru would never get used to.

As he began to look around and found himself in the weird desert where there was nothing but sand for as far as the eyes can see and the only speck of beauty this place had to offer is probably the beautiful night sky or the weird and majestic looking tree that was present at the very center of this strange world.

"So beautiful."

"I know right, I have spent eons, in this place training myself to become far stronger than I am now, you can even say I have spent most of my free time in this place, and even now I could never get tired of this view so I can totally relate apostle of mine."

"Agh... don't scare me like that Asura-Sama!"

Said Subaru as he was so memorized by the beautiful scene he was seeing before him, but it didn't last long as Asura sneak up on him and scared him from behind of course Subaru being the wimp he is jumps up while holding his heart.

Asura then look up to Subaru since he was still in the child form of Subaru, as he then said.

"Hahahaha agh... you know you're very teasable, it amusing and sad in a mundane way."

"Hey take that back I still have some worth."

"Really, oh well I shall let you frolic in your own little world."

"Your so mean."

"Well you should have some worth now, hopefully, maybe, who knows, as matter of fact, I need to look at the result of your awakening through the power of the Hogyoku."

"Hogyoku oh yeah you did mention the name earlier so what the hell is a Hogyoku."

Asura smiled at Subaru's question as he said with a rather lazy face shortly after.

"Ehh it's too much of a bother to explain in detail, so I won't be doing that, all you have to know is the thing I place inside of you is now inside your soul or more like it merges with it-- this thing is called a Hogyoku it has the power of "Desire Manesfestion" you heard of it right I believed Wiki exist in your world."

Subaru's jaw drops down in shock as it doesn't take much to understand what this certain power does-- that and the fact he spends a lot of time on Wikipedia as he says.

"The ability to bring fort one desire for their own convenience."

"Correct although the procedure to do it would have taken more time, I personally manipulated it to speed up the progress, it is because of my "Demon God Haki" I was able to forcefully fuse the Hogyoku with you in order to have made you awaken some kind of cheat ability base on your desires, and with that said I am very curious to see the fruit of my effort, let me see what powers your desire has brought fort apostle of mine."

After Asura said his piece he peeks into Subaru stats as his assistant "Cortana" who is the source of his power scans Subaru for any changes within him but to Asura Surprised-- Subaru stat board was by far the most detailed he has ever seen even his wasn't this detailed it almost like the boy desire brought fort a weird change in the stats parameters itself.

Asura look at his stat with a rather intriguing look as he said.

"Ah... your stats are rather unique."

Subaru look at Asura and said with an excited look in his eyes.

"Stat do you actually mean stats as in video game stats."

"Of course but normally my stats are divided into realms, but you on the other hand seem to have been released from the world rule of power due to a supreme skill "limitless potential" I must say your lucky to have awakened such a skill much less a supreme rank one-- what you just did is only something those at the colorless celestial rank can accomplish."

"But yet you forcefully free yourself from the said rule it annoying and amazing at the same time, of course, my great self is mostly the reason why you have reach said level although your strength is still jackshit compared to most."

"Damn it, I feel weird getting roasted by my younger self, and what the fuck is a colorless rank."

Asura then said while walking to the Path.

"Well it's how we Gods Rank different beings and ourselves it also tells us how much power the enemy or ally possesses, but honestly speaking since you free yourself from said limits knowing the different realm is useless but let me explain how your abilities work."

Subaru been Subaru trying to make a joke out of everything just take a seat as he said.

"Please teach me Asura-sensei."

Asura been Asura simply encourage his apostle teacher and student play-- since he and Cthulu and the other eldritch beings do idle things every time they get the chance to, so he shall partake in his apostle stupid game.

"Yes, yes let this Asura-sensei show you the way."

"The way."

Subaru said with a deadpan look.

"Yes, the way it's a cultured way of saying join the dark side."

"I see enlighten me then."

"Of course let this great Asura sensei open your eyes."

After Asura said that the world began to shake as new things started to be born within this beautiful wasteland-- As the desert magically transformed into the perfect replica of modern-day Japan as both Asura and Subaru were in uniform-- Asura was in a teacher uniform as he dresses in a blue work shirt and black long office pants, red tie with polish black shoes on his feet, and a single pair of glasses on his face.

While Natsuki Subaru was in his normal high school uniform as he looks around in shock and said.

"What the hell happen."

"Casual reality warping."

"Say what now, you do know reality warping is not a casual thing to do."

"Well, it is for me now let get to the class apostle of mine."

From there both Subaru and Asura walk to a normal classroom as Asura tells Subaru to take a seat as he began his lecture.

"Ok, what do you want to learn first."

Subaru raised his hand and said.

"Can I see my stats if that is possible?"

"Hmm well let me see."

"Hey, Cortana is there a way to make him see his stats."

[He should be able to see them with unique divine protection that was created with the Hogyoku]

"I believe that is the "eyes of the player" if I remember correctly."

[Yes that divine protection gives him the ability to interact with the world through an interface it might also be useful to him since it is needed for his "limitless potential" skill to work properly-- he can also see his stats and progress although he won't be able to see the stats and progress of others-- instead, he can see their power through a level perimeter and that can distinguish how dangerous a foe really is, or how useful a potential ally could be]

"I see so it basically just a useless eye skill that can somewhat protect him from danger although I don't think he can interact with the world if it's just himself."

[Give me some time to finish explaining master, you see that just one of three primary skills those eyes possess, you see when I said that those eyes can interact with the world through an interface I literally mean it]

"Elaborate"

[Well let just say it something almost like great sage except way weaker, in short, those eyes literally make him understand the world around him he can analyze plants weapons, books, food, etc, although he can't really analyze humans or their strength, speed or skills he can see the health points of allies and enemies making it neigh impossible to sneak up on him one he is paying attention, and if he analyzes the surrounding let's just say something amazing will happen]

"You got my attention and my curiosity please go on."

[Well if his brain analyze enough information he can make a mental map of the surrounding eventually creating a mini-map that expand with more information he gets, and the best part is he just has to see that person once, and depending on their intentions his divine protection will distinguish their existence as friend or foe making them out as either blue or red dots on said mini-map, while artifact would be label as gold]

"That very useful, so what the last ability of his divine protection."

[Party creation as you probably know already he has access to two unique types of points which is "LP" or also known as Level points and "EXP" which obviously stands for experience points the "LP" is something he gets every level up which make him receive a set amount of points depending on the situation which he can distribute among his different stats while "exp" or also known as experience points are point that he get for killing enemies these points are crucial if he wants to level up and if he makes a party his allies have access to it as well although they will only have access to it if they stay in the party]

"The fuck what kind of Gamer bullshit is this agh well, in the end, his strength among the other 15 will benefit me, in the end, a mutual agreement one would say-- but the thing that worries me the most is why for the love of God is he a shinigami and heroic spirit hybrid."

[Blame your fail incomplete true Hogyoku, it is because of that thing you might have to correct his bloodline since it is unstable]

"Well I did read Aizen memories on how to create one, of course, I did a few tweaks here and there and he is the first person I'm testing it on-- of course he doesn't have to know that but a little bloodline failure won't kill him right away, I will fix him in a jiffy no pain no gain after all."

[Still, you need to fix that]

"Yea fine."

_________________________

Subaru began to look at Asura as he was just staring at him for like 5 minutes straight almost like he was in his own little world without saying anything to him lost in thought so he ask again.

"So Asura-sama will you tell me what my stats are."

Asura looks at the boy again this time apologizing.

"Aw sorry for the long wait I'm just checking on something."

Subaru looks at Asura as he flaps his hand up and down saying.

"Don't worry about it."

"Ok boy, so I'm going to show you your stats and explain all your power this might take a little while so take a seat let this Asura sensei teach you."

From their Asura began to teach Subaru about his stat and powers as he explains everything in detail this actually took two hours as Asura was taking his time to make sure Subaru grasp his newfound abilities which Subaru was soaking in like a sponge due to his divine protection, and Subaru wasn't playing around he behaves like a proper student as he asks many questions which of course Asura answer back in detail to meet his expectation.

This process continues as Subaru asks even more questions like.

"So the "Final Explosion" skill should only be used in a final stand kind of scenario?

"Yes it is a final all or nothing move-- a sacrificial type of skill, honestly thought this is a pointless skill since "Return by Death" will just rewind time and return you back to a specific point in time or a checkpoint is what you refer it as."

"Yes I can see why it's a pointless skill for now-- honestly I don't know why I even got this skill in the first place, and even if I use it I can't use it in a place full of many innocent people since the blast range at full power is twenty-two miles in a 360-degree radius."

"Well don't feel down about that, it's not so bad, after all, it is a very powerful skill as it absorbs all the mana in the atmosphere within a twenty two-mile radius into a single point which is your gate as that huge amount energy is been compress almost to the point of Singularity, and once activated it cant be turn off, and anyone withing that range will be caught up in the death blast-- even wizard can't escape as anything within the blast absorption range will have no mana to rely on."

"Damn I will have to use this skill with caution hopefully I don't have to use it all-- I don't want to die after all, even if I have returned by death dying still sounds really scary."

"Don't worry boy I will be honest with you I won't hold anything back you see when you cross the dimensional plane your destiny to live a horrible life is set in stone, you definitely be weak at first but don't lose heart boy, if you train hard enough I know you can reach a happy ending, well since I gave you an opportunity things won't be too bad, but still be on the watch the Zeroverse is bitch as the power system there is basically hax."

Subaru smile after Asura gave him a talk he didn't want to die and if had to he doesn't mind dying if it for the right cause and he is not a masochist it's just that dying a cowardly and pathetic death will forever wound his pride as a man but hey he still hasn't done anything noteworthy as yet so he still less of a man than he already is.

"So Asura sensei can you explain to me what the title "He who holds the black holy sword" does, I'm guessing it gives me addition perk or act as some kind of support or skill."

Asura then began to explain what the title does.

"Well first of all the title is like a support kind of thing since it corresponds with your unique right "Weilder of the black holy sword" this right is basically something akin to a birthright meaning you are allowed to wield the alter version of Excalibur which is basically the evil version of Excalibur and also you are the only one who can wield that sword it won't bend to another person will."

"So what the title does is basically a buff meaning once you hold up your sword with the intention to fight with your all, you will slowly evolve and adapt in battle as it increases your martial skill, sword skill, fighting skill, etc, basically increasing and improving a lot of physical skills and abilties."

"What why the evil version though."

"Don't question it it just happen."

"But you haven't explained to me what a Shikai or a Bankai is."

"Sadly I can't tell you much about that."

"Eh but why though."

"Well, you see only a special type of weapon has that ability called Shikai and Bankai you see it something like a first or final release kind of special ability your weapon posses, and the reason I can't tell you is that you don't know your Zanpakuto name as yet-- to make thing short you Zanpakuto will explain it in more details when it has awakened."

"Zanpa... what now?"

"To keep things short and simple it is basically a sword spirit birthed from your soul and desires, and you need to learn the true name of your sword in order to utilize your Shikai and Bankai."

"True name... isn't my sword real name Excalibur."

"Yes, but in your case, that is only what your sword is referred to as-- your sword has a true name and you need to find out what it's called, in order, for you to use its true power."

When Subaru heard this he was amazed and happy that he will also get a free sword spirit as well, but he knows it might take some time so he just asked a different question.

"Ok I see so that only leave me with my most convenient skill "Hinokagutsuchi" with this I feel a little bit confident while facing my enemies, although I don't know if gun and weapons would be of any help to me at all."

"Agh boy you should rejoice a little this version of Hinokagutsuchi far surpasses the original you know-- after all you are not the first person to wield it, but you are the first to get an improve version of it-- you see the original owner could do nothing but make weapons, but in your case, you can create anything as long as you have enough mana to do so, but don't let this get to your head I would advise you not to create anything too large as you don't have enough mana for that."

Subaru looks at Asura in understanding-- he knows the limit to this ability but even so, his "limitless potential" skill would allow Hinokagutsuchi to grow at an infinite rate improving the skill over time, but sadly he knows that he can create anything but not everything meaning.

"I would still have to touch the object to create it so it is just a very useful replication ability but still I need to find a way to increase my mana pool or this skill would be useless."

Asura gave Subaru a nod as he said.

"Well mana is just a better source of energy but you can also use your stamina as a substitute, but please remember don't try to recreate something that is beyond you or something too huge."

"I will definitely take that into consideration Asura-sensei?"

Asura then turn around as he said.

"Well is there any more question you have for me, we have thirty minutes before daybreak and I will send you back to reality-- and after that, we won't be seeing each other for a while maybe even some years from now who knows?"

"Yes, can you also explain to me a couple of things I won't take long?"

Sure like what.

"Well, my special constitution you know "The Moonlight Dictator Body" how can I utilize it, I understand it heightens my overall physical capabilities at night but is that all it does."

"No, if you soak in the moonlight for two hours a night you get an additional 2 "Lp" on all your stats pertaining to your physical status."

Subaru's eyes widen in surprise although he grasps the importance of "LP" and "Exp" even something as small as 2 "Lp" for every two hours was a huge jump in power if he does it every night he will definitely be strong by the end of the year.

"I see that is a very convenient constitution I have."

"Yes, it is a very convenient constitution you have awakened, so tell me is there anything else you want to ask this Asura-sensei before we run out of time."

"Yes well I know about my abilities and all, but why don't I see my holy sword on me, I understand I cant use my divine protection to the fullest as yet since I have to actually be transported over in order for the world soul to fully synchronize it with me, but I'm confident that the holy sword is from your end so where is it."

"Well that is true without a doubt but it won't be here-- I only summon your soul here so you won't see all the changes till you get back to your world, and by the way, you won't be human anymore so if you see any major changes don't ask why."

"Wait what, are you serious?"

"Yap very serious since your abilities aren't something a human can use so the Hogyoku changes your race, but pay me no mine it just a possibility that you might look different then and again you might retain your normal looks."

"I see so what am I going to be."

"Half-human and Half-spirit."

"I see a demi-human."

"You can say that."

"So what is my new race even called."

"Don't know you can come up with a name for your new race-- but your race will be shown as a hybrid on your interface for sure till then."

"I see, very well then-- I will come up with a name eventually as I don't even know what to call myself right now."

(A/N): What should we call Subaru's new race.

"So yea is there anything else maybe you want me to grant you a request."

"Actually there is one thing I want to request if it is not too much to ask my lord-- I know for a fact I won't be able to get my hands on different modern-day weapons-- although I just need to touch them even that is difficult if it is not too much to ask can you create some tanks, nukes, maybe even some military weapon."

"Is that really all hahaha... agh, I thought it was going to be something way harder, I can do that for you it's very easy to create those meagerly and fragile toys, to be honest."

"Really if you can do that for me it will be a very big help, although it kind of terrifying in a weird way from my point of view since you refer to our weapons as nothing but toys."

"Well that is to be expected I can create and destroy multiple galaxies with a single thought, so from my perspective, those weapons are nothing but toys for children, but honestly speaking there still fun to play with after all me and my friend Rick casually go on a purge night every Friday with Reid just to play with them."

"The that sound very terrifying just how strong are you."

"Hmm... good question but to be honest it all depends even if I'm am back up in a corner a certain yandere skill kills the hope of my enemies I'm confident I can solo a verse without moving."

"Hmm destroying galaxies with a single thought, solo a verse without moving both are extremely terrifying but non is as scarier than a yandere skill sigh Asura-sama you sure have it rough."

"Hahaha... well Natsuki boy you can say me and you have it rough well hope you don't run into an obsessive yandere too soon."

"Why do I feel as my life is in danger."

"Anyways I can definitely help you out."

"Really."

"Sure but you do know that depending on the size, features, and explosive power it posses it will also need an equal amount of mana to summon said object, so these weapons and the military vehicle will not be available to you at first ok."

"Damn it-- I figured that, but still I just need to analyze it, or more like touch it so I can add it to my armory."

"OK sure."

And with that said Asura snap his fingers as reality around him started to warp and both he and Subaru were back at the path as the beautiful stary sky show itself once more, as Subaru said.

"Wow, reality-warping is so fricking convenient."

"Yes very, I use it on a daily basis."

"I can tell, you seem like the type to do so."

"Well, it makes life easier, a lot easier, too easy to be honest."

"Well, anyways Asura-sama were are my little friends."

"Oh, the toys are right behind you."

When Subaru turn around he jaw drop as he saw a whole lot of Military weapons, vehicles, and other technology he has never seen before as well-- it was man's dream to see all this destructive weapon before him."

Subaru then runs to toward the treasure of a highly lethal and dangerous weapon till he suddenly stops and said to himself.

"What the hell am I thinking, what gave me balls to run to a highly lethal pool of military weapons without checking if they are unarmed, judging by the share amount that is here I would say we can destroy half of Mexico with this much."

"Maybe you aren't an idiot after all-- but yeah they are all armed, so I rewrite reality so it doesn't go off till I say so, we can never be too safe."

"Thank you so much."

"Well start touching but like I said you don't have enough mana to summon the bigger ones."

From there, Subaru began to touch various firearms, explosive arms, cannons, war tanks, four-wheelers, giant military planes, and the list goes on, Subaru was confident that if he get all this firepower and work on his mana problem then his survival will be easier he might even become very influential in the other world.

After quickly touching everything their Asura then said to Subaru.

"Well, Apostle of mines the promised time has finally come."

Subaru look at Asura with a sad face as he knows he will not see his God for a very long time although he just met him this comedy relief God who claims to be the demon God of desires has shown him a glimpse of freedom, their time together was short but this guy has given him so much, but deep down Subaru know that this powerful being didn't give him all these gifts for free.

As Asura said earlier he wasn't chosen because of his rewinding abilities but because of his heroic nature when they were conversing around the table before Asura destroy his feeling and open up his eyes to see the bigger picture-- in short, this entity just enjoy his life story by peeping into his future, he almost felt this was just out of pity like he said before.

He wasn't going to ask if that was the case-- but what he was going to ask was why he needed to get stronger so he went ahead and ask.

"Hey Asura sensei I know you said I was just an investment, but can you at least tell me why I need to become stronger as quickly as I can-- maybe it's something bothering you that you are worried about ."

And when Asura heard this, his happy and playful demeanor change to one of pure seriousness and hate as he let out a suffocating aura his eyes turning from brown to red as he notice his hair started to turn purple it almost looks like a universe of its own.

Subaru fell on his knees on the verge of collapsing-- his right to breathe has been revoked as he felt his body being crushed by an invisible force.

He couldn't even move his lip his words wouldn't come out no matter how hard he tried but one thing was for sure Asura was mad and how Subaru piss him off even Subaru didn't know.

Asura then looks at Subaru as he looks like he was on the verge of dying so he tried to calm down and compose himself he is a deity after all.

The atmosphere returned to its calm state, his hair return to its normal form well the form he took to converse with Subaru, and the invisible pressure was gone Subaru look at Asura while holding his heart honestly he felt like he was going to die.

Asura turns around as he apologized.

"Sorry, I'm still recovering from some trauma your words just brought back some unpleasant memories."

Subaru didn't say anything he just continues to watch Asura as he can tell that he wanted to say more he almost looks pain, he can see it in those confident eyes of his that gleam with an undefeatable glare, was now that of a person who has seen hell in his life as Asura began to speak.

"Say Subaru boy can I ask you a question."

Subaru didn't know how to answer that it was a simple question yet he remain silent the atmosphere suddenly became cold the tension was totally on between the two seeing how quickly the conversation changed.

Subaru knew he would have to give Asura an answer-- he had been quiet for too long it was getting weird and annoying but the demon God was the first to speak as he said.

"If you only have one day to live because the world is going to end the next day.... what would you do, would you rather spend every last second with the person you love or would rather try to fight and prevent the world from ending-- even though you know it is hopeless, even though you know you are the only person who has the slightest chance to win."

Subaru was put in a corner it was though question if he only had a day to live of course he would rather want to spend his last moment with his family-- but he also knows he is the only one the can stop said event he would also do the latter in order to reach a happy ending, so Subaru answer this question the only way he knows how to, and that was been honest.

"Honestly Asura if I can do one or the other I would rather fight even if I know it's hopeless deep down I still believe there is a chance even if it's slim."

"Well boys, I can agree with you on that but our expectations tend to fail us in the worst possible time imaginable, the reality isn't always as it seems but my desire to win won't allow it."

"I don't understand."

"Well Subaru let just say I had returned by death experience just like you did in your possible futures-- and let just say I almost didn't return and what I saw on my end would forever scar me, but I rather not talk about that, so I will just get to the point."

"In four years everything as you know it will cease to exist, the Gods will fall, the multiverse will crumble, everything as you know it will be gone nothing will survive, and all that will be left is death, so apostle of mine, I need you to get stronger build an army of many strong and unmovable soldiers that will throw away their lives for the greater good, we need as much help as we can get, because when the reapers come everything will fall into chaos."

When Subaru heard the dread and seriousness in Asura's voice it was at that moment he knew how serious the situation is.

It is very Serious, Asura literally foretold a calamity that will happen in the future.

"Are you serious?"

"Very."

"This is bad what happens."

"I said too much already, but please trust me when I say, I need you to get stronger, I only have fours years to play with, and the only way I can get everyone ready-- is by slowing down the time for each one of them in a separate dimension as I train them myself upon reaching a certain level.

"Damn, I'm really feeling the pressure now haha... so this is what it means to be an apostle."

Asura at Subaru and smirk secretly as he remembers one of the very first words before he came here as Morpheus's voice plays in his head-- and he recites the same exact thing he said to him as he now says the same thing to Subaru.

"An Apostle job is never easy."

"I see fuck my life."

*Rumble*

"Ha... what that extremely loud and scary sound that seems to be approaching our way."

Asura and Subaru then look toward the north and what they see was a giant tsunami that was heading their way-- and the water was so high Subaru couldn't even see the top.

He then gave Asura a pleading glare as to say what the fuck is going on and please help me.

"A-A-Asura- s-Sama what the hell Is That...ThIng!"

Asura turn to the giant waves as he said.

"It would appear we have run out of time daybreak has finally arrived."

"W-What does that have to do with our situation."

Subaru asks with a trembling voice.

"To keep things short my domain has two forms it takes-- during the day it becomes a giant ocean with a beautiful sunrise along with many beautiful white clouds, the water is so clear the reflection shows beautifully on the water surface making it look parallel, and at night well it turns to this wasteland of a desert."

"That's good and all but please help, I don't want to die in my own dreams."

*Sigh* "The conversation went on longer than I intended it to go on, I still haven't gifted you a gate of existence as yet well I shall gift you one before you wake up-- I'm sure you can figure out the power I'm about to give you on your own."

Asura then disappears leaving Subaru behind who was panicking since there was no way to run as water starts to come from all four sides eventually engulfing Subaru.

The last thing Subaru was able to say before losing consciousness was.

"Damn you Asuraaaaa!

Subaru began to sink deeper and deeper at the bottom of the endless ocean, but even in his unconscious state he began to hear a voice he wasn't familiar with-- the voice sound feminine but yet masculine in short Androgynous was the only way to describe the voice as it said.

"Well sadly for us time has run out."

"I wasn't able to gift you your finale gift in time, so I will give it to you now."

Subaru couldn't see, nor could he move his body but he was aware, after all, he did feel something approaching him as a strange presence was near him as it was heading toward him-- sadly though he couldn't tell who or what it is but for some reason he didn't feel threatening by it, as a matter of fact, it gave the opposite vibe.

On the outside, we see Subaru was sinking to God knows where, the ocean that swept him away was so huge Earth would look like a pebble if it was to sink into it.

But as the boy sink a foreign object was floating toward him, as it made a "Badump" sound if you look closer you could tell it was a heart, it had a normal shape but the color was different it was pitch black as the heart slowly sank into Subaru left chest.

For a short while, Subaru felt something was placed inside of him as loads of information started to enter his mind giving him a serious headache while unconscious.

He began to learn what a gat of existence is and how valuable it can be as the power that comes with the gate was something unique only to him.

And as the boy sank further black smoke started to leak from his body as it began to create a structure behind him.

It was a humanoid structure it had the appearance of a beautiful elf, you can even say it was a statue.

Eventually, the statue started to open its mouth as dozen of invisible black hands started to shoot out from its mouth eventually grabbing the boy as it pull him inside-- and the last set of words Subaru heard from the mysterious voice was.

"Now boy normally you would have had to pay a toll to get a gate of existence-- but since I'm investing in you I paid the toll on my end, but you are going to have to pay me back one day."

"But, apart from that have a great life in the other world although you still have 12 hours before you get forcefully transferred over by a certain individual."

"And please do remember you only have four years to play with and by the way, I will leave you with three pieces of advice I want you to take to heart."

"The first and most important advice I have for you is, don't trust the clown for a single second-- try to find a way to stay close to the mansion while at the same time not being too close to the mansion."

"Secondly locate the remaining sword of power including all the witch's fortune and treasures."

And lastly, your life would be easier if you just accept her well it up to you, later apostle of mine till we meet again and don't die too quickly heheheh."

And with those words, the statue closes its mouth with Subaru in it, as it disappears from the world they were in.
